Finishing Garage
I just moved into a new house and the detached garage is not finished. My plan as of right now is to build a work bench and a few shelves. For the walls I was thinking peg board. If anyone has any cool ideas or know of a better approach I would love to hear it. I have seen online wall panel systems that help you organize but not sure if its worth the money.
Thanks

if its just stud walls, i would recomend a little insulation in the ceiling and walls, mine gets hotter than heck in the summer. we had a large garage we stored our motorhome in several years back and just built work benches down one side, peg board up to about 7ft and a shelf on top of that. the rest was left unfinished. I think you can set up a nice work area with out using the organizer systems like the GLadiator system. I have a couple of there cabnets, they are nice, but could have done the same with pre fabed kitchen cabnets and just painted them. good luch and and have fun with it.

Really depends on what you are going to use it for.

I recommend a shelf all around the top 18-24 inches. It is great for getting bulky stuff (ice chest, christmas lights, tackle boxes, etc.) off the floor. I also like a set of shelves around 4-5 feet wide all the from floor to cieling for odds and ends that can not be hung with peg board. stuff like touch up paint, car wax/polish, propane torch, engine analizer, etc.

Rippin Lips....that's looking pretty good!
